Backgrounds for posters

240 designs picked for this job, 16 free.

Posters are viewed from across a room and then, if they work, from up close. That rewards a background with impact at distance and texture up close — and because every design here is generated rather than photographed, it stays sharp at A1 with no upscaling artefacts.
